History

4 Years ago Mr. Galvan and the staff of the Veterans Memorial Academy got together to host a Quinceañera for six students who couldn't afford to have their own. It was a beautiful yet simple celebration at the high school gym.

Word spread throughout the community, the second year more girls asked to be a part of the free Quinceañera.

Now in its fourth year, 80 students took part. The entire community of San Benito got together to give the kids a night they will never forget.

Dresses were donated from across the country, one of the local churches cooked the food, the Mariachi, and DJ classes performed and the boys from the ROTC escorted the girls.

This event is a testimony of a community taking a stand for the future of their youth.
